Six Leaves Chapter 779 - Slum (Text)
Outside Yongcheng City, there is a large area where houses have been built, and the houses are also divided into grades, the closer to Yongcheng is the first-class area, most of the people here are composed of cultivators, and the houses built are better, but here are generally built by some powerful people for money, but they are sold to those cultivators to live in, or rented out. The fastest and most stable update is much cheaper than in the city.
Further beyond is the second-class area, where the houses are relatively simple, mostly built by some lowly cultivators and some civilians. Finally, there is the third-class area, which is almost considered a civilian area, because almost all the people who live here cannot afford to live in a house, and can only build a simple house in the outermost part of the city.
Before Ye Qiu came to Yongcheng, he had already passed through several cities, so he was not curious about these, almost every city was like this! The cost of living in the city is high, and accommodation is expensive, and even some practitioners choose to live outside the city, so these so-called slums are very common.
However, compared to the inside of the city, there is chaos outside the city, and there are fights almost every day, and people die every day. There are city guards in the city, and fighting is generally forbidden in the city, but outside the city is different, and quarrels and even fights are not uncommon.
Therefore, there is chaos outside the city, Ye Qiu is also very worried because of this, no matter what, Sister Li He and Cheng Bo are very honest, and their strength is low, I am really afraid that they will encounter some trouble.
As for which area Li He and Cheng Bo will be, there is no need to guess Ye Qiu to know that they have no money on them, so they can only build simple houses on their own in the third-class area. So he and Wan Jinyou took the little barbarian girl and the sword mantis and went to the third-class area.
Yongcheng is very large, so the scale outside the city is also very huge, because it is the imperial capital of the Great Southern Kingdom, so the surrounding population is also very dense, even the slums in this third-class area are not small, it is really difficult to find.
"Childe, wait a minute, let's look for it like this, even if we look for a few days, we can't find it, in this way, I have a friend who is messing around here, let me ask him if there is any news about these two people?" Wan Jinyou said to Ye Qiu.
Ye Qiu nodded, this is the best, although he knows that the other party may not know, but he can't let go of the slightest opportunity to find Li He and Cheng Bo.
Wan Jinyou looked left and right, then waved his hand to call a person, and after saying a few words in his ear, the person left quickly.
"My friend's name is Bao Inquiring, and he is also very famous outside the city, you ask him to help you find someone, as long as there is this person outside the city, he will ask you quickly." Wan Jinyou said with a smile.
After waiting for about ten minutes, a thin man appeared, this person was Bao Inquiring, he seemed to be an old acquaintance with Wan Jinyou, and after the two were polite to each other, Wan Jinyou went straight to the topic and said that he wanted to let the other party help. The fastest and most stable update dìng)
Bao inquired and groaned for a while, and couldn't help but glance at Ye Qiu and the little barbarian girl behind Wan Jinyou, and then showed a treacherous smile, "Lao Wan, it's no problem to find someone, but it's ......"
Looking at the other party's obvious expression, Wan Jinyou snorted and took out a spirit stone from his arms, "Give!" But how soon will you get news? ”
"Okay, if it's fast, an hour, if things go a little slower, it's tomorrow morning." Bao inquired and put away the spirit stone with a smile, and said with some confidence.
Ye Qiu's face on the side looked slightly better after hearing this, this bag is so confident, it should be genuine, but this product is also a treacherous person at first glance, and it is comparable to Wan Jinyou. Bag inquiring and Wan Jinyou? These two names are stunning!
Next, Ye Qiu was still looking for it, he knew that he couldn't hang himself on a tree, and he was afraid that this bag of inquiries was not really that powerful.
He didn't rest, and Wan Jinyou naturally had to follow behind to look for it, and the little barbarian girl who kept showing an excited expression, it seemed that she was wandering around the slums for the first time, and everything she saw was very fresh.
Wan Jinyou looked at the little barbarian girl suspiciously many times, and finally couldn't help but walk up to Ye Qiu and asked in a low voice, "Childe, is this young lady's surname Ouyang?" ”
Outside the small courtyard rented by Ye Qiu before, Ye Qiu had called the little barbarian girl Miss Ouyang, which was exactly what Wan Jinyou was puzzled about.
"Well, yes, she said her surname is Ouyang, what's wrong?" Ye Qiu nodded.
Wan Jinyou sighed for a moment, and said strangely, "Looking at Miss, she doesn't look like an ordinary person, but in this Yongcheng, there is no family surnamed Ouyang." ”
Ye Qiu was surprised, "Wouldn't it?" ”
He always thought that this little barbarian girl came from a big family, after all, last time he hunted fierce beasts in the Warcraft Mountain Range with those young ladies of Childe, and he was also the leader of that group of young ladies and gentlemen, who could casually bring out a seventh-level peak barbarian beast, and a group of city guards were also very respectful to her, how could it be an ordinary person?
Could it be that this little brute is fooling me? She may not be called Ouyang.
"Except for one family, though." Wan Jin Youshen looked around mysteriously, then glanced at the little barbarian girl, and lowered his voice in Ye Qiu's ear, "That's the royal family of our Great Southern Empire!" This Miss Ouyang may be a county lord. ”
Ye Qiu's heart jumped, and he couldn't help but glance at the little barbarian girl, at this moment, the little barbarian girl was still singing happily, look here, look there, it's not fresh.
Wan Jinyou is right, if the surname Ouyang is really a royal surname, then this little barbarian girl is very likely to be a royal person. And judging from the various appearances of the little barbarian girl, whether it is the ability to bring out such a powerful beast, or the respect that those city guards have for her, it shows that the status of the little barbarian girl is definitely not low. In other words, it is not necessary that this little barbarian girl may really be a prince's little county lord.
If that's the case...... Ye Qiu couldn't help but wipe a cold sweat secretly, he also slapped the other party's ass today, fortunately, this girl has a tendency to be abused, otherwise, with this girl's brutal character, if she sues which prince in front of him, when the time comes, he will send some spiritual realm powerhouses to deal with him, then it will be Ma Le Gobi!
"Hey, what the hell are you talking about? Say me? The little barbarian girl jumped over and asked with a smile.
Wan Jinyou's face turned pale with fright, and he hurriedly turned around and walked to the side, waving his hand at the same time and said, "No, I didn't say that you, Miss!" ”
Seeing the little barbarian's puzzled expression, Ye Qiu couldn't help but say, "Miss Ouyang, where is your home?" ”
The little barbarian girl grinned, "Don't sue you!" ”
“……”
It didn't take long for Bao to find Ye Qiu and them, and at the same time brought good news.
"I inquired, Lao Wan, the two people this son is looking for are on the periphery of the third-class area about ten miles away from here, one is named Li He, a girl who is about seventeen or eighteen years old, right? The other is called Cheng Bo, they came to the third-class area about a month ago, I heard that this little girl Li He is a beautiful girl, and several mullets have come to her, but she has refused. Bao inquired and wiped a handful of sweat, panting and dizzy.
"Mullet?" Ye Qiu was a little puzzled.
Wan Jinyou knew that Ye Qiu came to Yongcheng for the first time, so he explained on the side, "Mullet is almost a kind of person who specializes in looking for beautiful girls for large families, and when they find very beautiful girls, they will introduce them to large families to fill in the house, even if people don't like it, they can arrange to be a maid." ”
Ye Qiu understood when he heard him explain like this! This is the so-called intermediary, but the grade is relatively high, and it is specially engaged in for large families.
Li He is indeed a beautiful girl, Ye Qiu naturally knows this, but when he heard Bao inquire, he couldn't help but be a little worried, it seems that many mullets have been eyeing Li He, and some people will use strength if they are soft, and everyone Ye Qiu wants to understand people's hearts.
"Then Mr. Bao will take us there! You can take this spirit stone to tea. Ye Qiu had five more spirit stones in his hand and threw them to the bag to inquire, and when the latter saw it, his mouth suddenly cracked, and he said with a smile, "Childe is so generous, thank you!" ”
He was in a happy mood, and couldn't help but glance at Wan Jinyou, "Lao Wan, you have made a lot of money this time, tsk." ”
Wan Jinyou snorted, and said unhappily, "Why are you talking so much nonsense, take the spirit stone and hurry up!" ”
"Hehe, Childe, please come with me, we will be there soon!" Bao inquired and grinned, and walked to the front to lead the way.
……
At the outskirts of the third-class area, this is a real slum, where the houses are rudimentary, almost all made of branches or sticks, and the top is covered with hay, which is called a house.
At the moment, a little further away from the other houses, there are also two simple huts.
The night was starry and looked particularly beautiful, and outside the two huts sat a teenage girl, dressed in rough clothes, polishing a trinket by light not far from the charcoal fire. These are the most common things in the slums, polishing trinkets, which can be sold to those vendors at a low price, which can be regarded as a way for these people to make money in their spare time.
Li He was polishing the trinkets very seriously, thinking of the grievances she had suffered these days, she couldn't help but burst into tears. But soon she took a deep breath and looked at the stars in the sky with a determined look.
Suddenly remembering something, she couldn't help but pick up the wooden box that had always been placed aside, gently opened it, and carefully turned out a beautiful purple dress from the inside, this was the most beautiful dress she had ever worn, since she came to this place, she had never worn it again, for fear of getting dirty.
Stroking the beautiful dress for a moment, she took out another thing in the wooden box, which was a pendant, and the pendant of the pendant was now shining brightly in the moonlight. She couldn't help but look at it, even if she had to watch it every night, but she never got tired of looking at it, and always thought it was the most beautiful thing in the world.
Suddenly, footsteps came from a distance, she put down the clothes and pendants in her hand, stood up and walked over, "Grandpa, is it you?" ”
"Xiao He, I'm back, cough cough ......" Cheng Bo came from a distance, his body staggered a little, Xiao He saw it, and couldn't help exclaiming, "Grandpa, are you injured?" ”
There is another one that has not been checked and modified, and after about half an hour, it was updated by picking up the wooden box that has always been placed aside, gently opening it, and carefully turning out a beautiful purple dress from the inside, which is the most beautiful dress she has ever worn, since coming to this place, she has not worn it again, for fear of getting dirty.

There is another one that has not been checked for modification yet, and it will be updated in about half an hour
